Christmas Angel

It's Christmas

Right off, after reading this short, but so very sweet story, I am more than interested in what else Eli Easton put out there. I loved everything about it. Christmas Angel is a perfect December story, complete with the holiday cheer and likeable, witty characters.

I liked Mr. Trent so much! He is anything Alec could have ever dreamed of and even more. He's kind, funny, and, oh, so subtle. The man has a real talent. Alec is a lonely lad who really needs to anchor on someone, and that someone can be no one but Mr. John Trent. And what a lovely pair they make!

What I also liked about Christmas Angel is that it's not over the top. You get a nice story with no unnecessary drama, and bonus points, it's true to the era. It is obvious the author properly researched the topic and did a very good job. I'm always amazed when contemporary authors write historically accurate, giving the reader the full experience.

The plot flowed smoothly, naturally, and did I mention I really liked John? I enjoyed John's approach, and how he carefully thought on what to do next. He's the type of character you dream of, he's calm, calculated, and clever, qualities that proved to be more than useful.

I liked the rest of the characters as well, they are all so warm and welcoming, even Dante. They are a joyous bunch and a wonderful company. Eli Easton crafted the characters so beautifully and wrapped them in a heart-warming story. Perfect read for the holiday season.

Surprisingly rich and engaging for a holiday novella.

This is the first I have read by this author and this is the first about a Christmas angel ornament. While the book states each can be read in any order, I do believe this should be read first as it is the origins of the angel ornament. That said, I loved the book. I enjoyed the story, the characters and the author's style despite being her first venture into the 1750s (read her blurb at the end of the book). I'm a sucker for romances and I needed tissues lol.
